A great way to keep your trail camera powered ALL YEAR ! - Tight Lines 'n Short Blood Trails Here's a link to purchase one of these boxes: amzn.to/45kasXW
I have been using these for several years. They easily will keep your camera running for over a year, and I'm talking cell cams. Yes, they are a bit bulky but they save so much money over lithium batteries. They are definitely worth it.
I just ordered one of these and wasn't sure if it would work with my Tactacam, luckily your video was the first to show up and I saw that i needed the adapter. Thanks for posting the link to make it quick and easy for those of us that needed to get an adapter!
youre welcome! thanks for watching! i hope you have a good experience with the batteries, ive got 9 of them and i still love them. saves so much more money than buying AA's ! - Tight Lines 'n Short Blood Trails
here's a link to it. you may have to shave the plastic insulator down a little bit to get it to fit snug, but these are the ones i use. thanks for watching! amzn.to/3Umaige
That is correct. However, some trail camera manufacturers recommend you put batteries in the tray as a backup. I do not have batteries in the tray in any of my cameras that I use this solar battery box with.
Thank you for this great information. My boss purchased the 12 volt battery and the adapters you recommended but the adapters don't stay in the camera. He purchased the Tactacam Reveal X Pro. Do you have any ideas why this adapter would work? Thanks.
I’m sorry, I don’t have one close to take a better look at it, but I do not believe that it has a hole in it to secure it to a tree. Fortunately, I have not had to worry much about theft.
Thank you, I am gonna geta few of them, not to change the subject but how is the r29x holding up for you? I just got mine last week and I love the thing..@@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors
Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of that right now. But all I do is put the battery on the ground by the camera and wrap the cord around the camera mount that I use and Velcro in place.
@@gaelewis6623 the solar panel will help keep the battery charged, the battery will run the camera, so cloudy or rainy doesnt matter. when the sun comes back out, the battery will take a charge again

Thank you for the video.
what is the adaptor called ?
The piece to fit the tactacam cell camera
here's a link to it. you may have to shave the plastic insulator down a little bit to get it to fit snug, but these are the ones i use. thanks for watching! amzn.to/3Umaige
So with hooking up the auxiliary cable to the camera, you no longer have to put batteries into the camera? Correct?
That is correct. However, some trail camera manufacturers recommend you put batteries in the tray as a backup. I do not have batteries in the tray in any of my cameras that I use this solar battery box with.
Thank you for this great information. My boss purchased the 12 volt battery and the adapters you recommended but the adapters don't stay in the camera. He purchased the Tactacam Reveal X Pro. Do you have any ideas why this adapter would work? Thanks.
All you have to do is cut some of the round plastic insulator off the adapter and it will fit perfect.
Just cut a thin “doughnut” shape off.
Thanks. I will give this a try
HME battery boxes:

Adapter For Tactacam : amzn.to/3rNY7xh
hey fyi these adaptors do not fit my tactacam Its right size but the black plastic is too big to let it slide in all the way
@@brianscott1894 yes, just shave away about 1/16 of an inch from the end of the black plastic. it will then work
Thats what I did and they work fine.@@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors
Do they make an adaptor for the HME to fit the Bushnell type cameras? I am having a lot of trouble finding one.
@@frankheim100 im sure there is, but you need to know the input size for the bushnell power jack
Did you change the plug on end of hme or dose it directly fit tactacam reveal cameras?
You need this adapter for the Tactacam cameras. amzn.to/42H4hNH
What's the name of adapter for tactacam reveal cameras and where to purchase them?
Here ya go! Thanks for watching.

Dose it have whole so you can lock it or how you secure it from getting stolen?
I’m sorry, I don’t have one close to take a better look at it, but I do not believe that it has a hole in it to secure it to a tree. Fortunately, I have not had to worry much about theft.
When you use these with Tactacam cell cameras do you need the batteries in the cell cam too?
No sir. I use the empty battery tray with my external box.
Thank you, I am gonna geta few of them, not to change the subject but how is the r29x holding up for you? I just got mine last week and I love the thing..@@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors
@@brianscott1894 it's holding up great! ive killed 3 deer with it this year! It's a great tool
Can these be adapted to charge a fan or cell phone? Thanks.
im sure they could, if you had an adapter for fit both the battery box and then whatever you were plugging into it. it is a 12vdc power source
How do you have battery pack set buy camera.If you have pictures or video would like to see it,thanks
Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of that right now. But all I do is put the battery on the ground by the camera and wrap the cord around the camera mount that I use and Velcro in place.
Can you run cameras on solar power only?
I’m assuming you mean the “external battery”? The answer is yes. I run my cameras with the external box and an empty battery tray.
@@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors so the only problem with that is when it's cloudy and rainy?
@@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors how did they do on cloudy rainy days?
@@gaelewis6623 the solar panel will help keep the battery charged, the battery will run the camera, so cloudy or rainy doesnt matter. when the sun comes back out, the battery will take a charge again
Set and forget it LOL
That’s the best part about these! Thanks for watching. -Tight Lines ‘n Short Blood Trails
